There aren't many things more tiring than staring for a couple of hours through a pair of binoculars or a compact spotting scope. But that is exactly what varmint hunters do. So do special law-enforcement and military units that must keep a distant suspect or target under surveillance. Binoculars are commonly used for this type of work Julio Jones Black Jersey , but their weight limits useful magnification. It's just simply too hard to hold them steady.

Early Experiments

Quite a few years ago Kids Austin Hooper Jersey , serious varmint hunters began to rig up two best spotting scopes to form a pair of more powerful binoculars. There's a lot more to that than just gluing two parts together -- but when it was done right Kids Deion Jones Jersey , the result was difinitely worth the work.

On a recent groundhog hunt in the Virginia mountains Kids Vic Beasley Jr Jersey , I had a chance to use a set of Eagle Eyes from Gradeur Manufacturing. The company is a high-tech manufacturer of such diverse products as sophisticated industrial control and conveyor systems and custom motorcycles. There is a surprising degree of percision needed to make the Eagle Eyes work right.

I'm sure you've noticed how you have to adjust the spacing between a pair of binoculars so that it appears as if you're are looking through a single lens. The same applies to the Eagle Eyes Kids Devonta Freeman Jersey , but it can't be done with a simple hinge. Instead there's a spring-loaded adjustment that slides on a precision-ground rod Kids Julio Jones Jersey , which is fitted to a tolerance of .001 inch. Turning a knurled adjustment wheel moves the right side scope for individual adjustment.

TOKYO， Feb. 3 (Xinhua) -- The Bank of Japan (BOJ) on Friday said it will buy Japanese government bonds (JGB) in a surprise operation aimed at bringing down a recent surge in JGB yields.

The emergency move may suggest the central bank is nervous about the United States' view of its monetary easing policy， particularly in light of recent remarks made by U.S. President Donald Trump accusing Japan of "playing the money markets" and deliberately manipulating the yen to the U.S.'s disadvantage.

The remarks were made while although monetary policy by the BOJ and the Finance Ministry has been designed with a weak yen in mind， Japan has still been struggling economically.

According to the latest data， the world's third-largest economy has been struggling with slumping domestic and overseas demand， falling consumer sentiment and tense capital expenditure.

Household spending， a key indicator of consumer sentiment， has also been on a predominantly downward trajectory.

This is a predicament for the BOJ and the government as they're scrambling to to reach their 2 percent inflation goal and private consumption accounts for 60 percent of Japan's GDP.

This being the fact， however， and not withstanding Japan's "quagmire-like" struggle to escape deflation， Japan has not for a long time unilaterally delved into currency markets to curb the yen's rise.

The BOJ on Friday， however， offered to buy benchmark 10-year Japanese government bonds in a special operation aimed at keeping the 10-year yield at its target of around zero percent.

"The yen might continue to weaken against the dollar after today's action，" said Masashi Murata， senior currency strategist at Brown Brothers Harriman.

"Some participants may have concerns about the BOJ's previous actions， or lack of action， when JGB yields have risen， so it's a good signal. But my feeling is that BOJ also doesn't want to keep expanding their balance sheet，" Murata said.

A day after Trump accused Japan of being a currency manipulator， at just past 10:00 a.m. local time on Friday morning， the BOJ said it would boost purchases of government bonds with maturities of more than five to 10 years to 450 billion yen (3.98 billion yen) from 410 billion yen as had been planed initially.

The central bank， sources close to the matter said， announced its fixed-rate buying operation， aiming to douse speculation that it may start tapering its aggressive monetary easing measures amid pressure from Trump.

The BOJ said it would buy an "unlimited" amount of Japanese government bonds with maturities of more than five to 10 years.

She was a strong， hardworking woman， who conquered her space and had an important political role，" Rousseff said. "In the past few months， she and President Lula were victims of persecutions and great injustices."
